The interview, conducted by Tim Dickinson, covered everything from the Democrats' odds of winning the House in 2018 to the possibility of impeaching President Donald Trump. But when the topic turned to Pelosi's future, the minority leader was not happy.

Dickinson: Have you ever been tempted to step away?

Pelosi: If Hillary had won and the Affordable Care Act was protected — I feel very proprietary about the Affordable Care Act. She'd be a woman in charge, the Affordable Care Act [would be] protected. I could have happily gone home. Nobody in California gets Potomac Fever, believe me. So it's not about wanting to be there. It's just a question of, “Who can fight this man who's in the White House? Who really knows the territory?” None of us is indispensable, but some of us have more experience and confidence in how to get the job done.

Nancy Pelosi Vows To ‘Avenge President Obama If It’s The Last Thing I Do’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi promised to “avenge” former President Barack Obama in a bizarre fundraising email sent out on Monday afternoon.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign sent out a letter under Pelosi’s name that claimed she is going to make Republicans pay for confirming President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Pelosi claimed that Republican ad-buys on behalf of Trump’s nominee will “eviscerate our chance to make Republicans pay for the Supreme Court seat they STOLE from President Obama.”

“But I’m determined to avenge President Obama if it’s the last thing I do,” she claimed, before asking supporters to click on a link to donate.

Pelosi’s detractors have argued for years that Democrats need an image overhaul by empowering newer members at the very top of the party. But they suffered a big setback when Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), thought by many to be Pelosi’s heir apparent, was unseated himself in an astonishing primary defeat earlier this year.

Crowley's downfall has left Pelosi critics scrambling in search of another challenger bearing the requisite combination of experience, gravitas, popularity — and not least, interest — to take on Pelosi, a political juggernaut who's led the party for the past 15 years.
